Issues with customization and preferences not saving changes

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Here are my three problems

  1. I set the resolution of my screen to 3218 x 1872 I have a 4K monitor. I save this resolution and save it as a start-up doc. As I launch ZBrush. The resolution is correct as I set . But when I open a project saved earlier, ZBrush defaults it back to 1609 x 938 and the project looks wrong. I have to set the screen again to 3213 x 1872 Ctrl N and redraw the object on the canvas every time. Same thing happens if I use any project from LightBox

  2. The other strange behavior is that when I change something in preferences such as: transpose units. I set it to 10. Save, it always relaunches at factory preset.

  3. When I initialize ZBruhs, nothing happens.

Thanks

Hello @marcos9999 ,

  1. Canvas size is stored in Project files, and will overwrite whatever canvas size ZBrush starts with. In order to have the file load the canvas at the same size each time, the “WSize” button in the Document palette must be disabled. This is enabled by default in every new project file, but once disabled and saved the project will remember that setting. If this button is enabled in the file, it will scale itself to your screen res (adjusted by any display scaling), minus any space taken up by UI elements, regardless of the size the canvas was saved at.

  2. Those settings are not stored with the configuration.

  3. If you press Preferences> Initialize, the very least you should see is a message informing you that ZBrush is going to delete data from the session. Make sure to test this in the default UI to rule out any problems with a custom UI if you are using one. Save out your UI, restore the default UI and re-save the configuration. It’s important that the custom UI not load with the program to test this, as switching to the default UI after it has already loaded may not clear any issues the previous UI introduced. If this does not happen there may be an issue with your installation and you will need to contact ZBrush Support.

Thank you!
